Now, what sort of attitude is that?? Don't you recognize a perfect
excuse to acquire a milling machine when you see it?

some old fart with a mill in his basement, and let them do it.

Max, I wouldn't know where to begin in finding such a "shop".

Does anyone know if a tandem pump was ever made with v-belt pulleys?
It seems like the simple thing would be to replace the PS pump with a
tandem pump. Then a SLS head is not needed, as the tandem pump
provides the SLS pressure.
The tandem pumps I have seen on the 124 wagons all were made for serp
belts. I believe the 85 TD has v-belts.
Since you are so close to PGA, why not drive over there and ask them
if a tandem pump can be modified to fit your OM617?
This was in refernece to the SLS head-free 1985 "300TD". I have since
discovered that the car was hard to start because I goosed the
throttle instead of alowing the glow system to do its job. SInce
then, it has started without incindent on cold days, even when it's
windy.
P.S. Do you or anybody else for that matter want this engine if and
when I ever remove it? It was from a 1985 300TD sedan with allegedly
25 K miles. Runs strong, blows ice cold air, etc.

Andrew,
Is that car that is difficult to start the one with the SLS pump
in the
head, or the one you want to replace with an 85 engine?
